New Samples on Github

Devtech Proviz team started a new initiative: a new set of open-source samples available in Github. This repository is a work in progress and is meant to grow. But you can already check out few samples here: https://github.com/nvpro-samples

Command-List OpenGL extension

NVIDIA released a new proprietary extension, called nv-command-list, allowing developers to address the driver in such an efficient way that its overhead reaches near zero, revealing the full strength of NVIDIA Graphic chips.

NVIDIA GPU Blur Plug-in for Adobe After Effects

The NVIDIA GPU Blur Plug-in performs fast blur for video editing in After Effects using CUDA. The plug-in is based on the CUDA Toolkit sample Box Filter, adapted to perform multiple iterations for high quality, and providing both a GPU pathway and CPU fallback. The sample also demonstrates how to do self-profiling, displaying a console window to give CPU and GPU timings. Performance is 12x faster that the single core CPU fallback. This sample provides a basis for developing additional plug-ins for After Effects using CUDA.
